Luis Suarez named Football Writers' Player of the Year




The Liverpool star adds the award to the Professional Footballers' Association trophy he won eight days ago, beating second and third-placed Steven Gerrard and Yaya Toure
Liverpool star Luis Suarez has won the Football Writers' Player of the Year award, adding the prize to the Professional Footballers' Association's trophy he picked up eight days ago.

The striker topped the poll with 52 per cent of the vote, with team-mate Steven Gerrard and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure finishing second and third, respectively.

LIVERPOOL LATEST
16/1 Luis Suarez is 16/1 with William Hill to be top scorer at the World Cup
Suarez has netted 30 league goals this season to lead the division's scoring charts, and needs just two goals to break Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo's 31-goal hauls in a 38-game season record, despite missing the first five matches of the season due to suspension.

FWA chairman Andy Dunn said: "Those members who have been fortunate enough to be working at a match involving Luis Suarez have witnessed an astonishing talent first-hand.

"Tireless endeavour allied to extraordinary imagination makes an irresistible combination. Add ingenious, impudent finishing and you have a footballer who truly quickens the pulse."

"Luis is a remarkable gifted addition to the long and distinguished list of winners of our award."

The double award-winnning campaign marks a dramatic turnaround for the Uruguayan, who began the campaign by serving the remainder of a 10-game suspension for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.

Previously the striker had also been involved in a race row involving Manchester United's Patrice Evra that also produced another lengthy ban.

Suarez can add to his goal return when Liverpool face Crystal Palace on Monday evening, with the club still in contention for a first ever Premier League title
